A new Esbjerg service began today from Aberdeen International Airport, operated by Danish regional airline Danish Air Transport (DAT).
Flights will operate once a day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Steve Szalay, Aberdeen International Airport, managing director said: “Esbjerg port is a gateway to the Danish North Sea and is a primary base for oil and gas activity in the region. It is essential that we strengthen our links with the Denmark’s energy capital.
“Similarly, for leisure purposes Esbjerg is a city steeped in maritime history and is a gem waiting to be discovered. Furthermore, Billund’s LEGOLAND is within a commutable distance, the destination perfect for families.”
Captain Jesper Rungholm CEO and owner of Danish Air Transport said: “It is with great pleasure that we announce the first DAT scheduled flights to Aberdeen. We opened our first oil business route from Esbjerg to Stavanger in 1996 and we have been waiting a long time for this opportunity to further our services from Esbjerg.”
